Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9846175A1] An elastic textile implement to be tightly worn over an articulation or part of the body to be protected and/or aided in its mechanical action is made in a geometrically flat form foldable to shape, substantially of a single size. The implement is made in the form of a planar made of an elastic fabric comprising an elastomeric yarn and substantially non-elastic yarns, conformable around said part or articulation and tautingly fixed thereon by "Velcro"3 fasteners, the fabric comprising at least a third substantially non-elastic yarn of a material selected from the group composed of nylon, polyester and mylar, interwoven with at least a first and a second non-elastic yarns and with said elastomeric yarn and forming a dense population of loops (M) projecting for a determined height out of one face of the fabric. "Velcro"3 fasteners with tiny hooks are sewn on a plurality of independently stretchable edge portions of said implement, each edge portion being superimposable to the outer surface of the fabric having said population of loops (M) and anchorable in any position.
